If one is the "Antichrist" of "Anti-competition" does that not make one the "Christ the savior" of competition?

I've posted numerous times, I SUPPORT COMPETITION
now everything will be roses in NATS and MAAC land and I'm neither.

Does anyone have a Ken interpreter handy?

Please ... all who are reading this thread, and the other one linked to on RCCanda, do not judge the Nationals by the rantings of the few who continue to butt heads.

Further, I think Ken's off on his numbers. I can believe that Gimli had more participants than the scale discipline at the Nationals but I doubt it matched the overall number of participants for all disciplines at the Nationals, or even Scale Aerobatics alone ... based on numbers for Gimli already posted on this site and numbers for Nats registration for all events (that didn't include those who registered on-site). I'll leave the actual number comparison to those who care. My apples vs. oranges analogy also stands so why insist on comparing?

For once I must agreee with Marc, why should "those who do not compete" even care if in fact, the event ran at no cost to MAAC?

What really saddens me is not the petty bickering of a few who disagree on how a competition should be run, but those rabid scavengers who immediately pounce on any sign of negative public relations in an attempt to discredit or discount event.[:@][:@][:@]

I think ALL the NATS were a BIG HIT!!!

I attended ---- Scale Aerobatics, Scale Combat, SAM, RC Scale, Precision Aerobatics, and several of the Control Line events.

All had a GREAT time and are looking forward to next years NATS.
